Love IT!

Date of Review:  Mar 6, 2000
Review: After reading a review in the paper I went to see the new (98) Forester.
I wanted a SUV but had heard and seen horror stories about how easily they rolled over. At the time the Forester was the only SUV not required to have a rollover alert...

2 Years and Still in Love!

Date of Review:  Oct 12, 2000
Review: Good Things
I bought my Subaru Forrester in March of 1998 because I was looking for a dependable, tough vehicle with the added safety and assurance of all-wheel or 4-wheel drive. My job requires me to report in, no matter what the weather so I...

Subaru Forester

Date of Review:  Jul 12, 1999
Review: After 30,000 miles, I can heartily recommend my Forester. It truly is a pleasure to drive, handles well, and has surprisingly more cargo room.

Here's a hint for anybody thinking about buying a Forester - the 99 is exactly the same as the 98...

1998 after 30,000 miles

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 1999
Review: I have owned my 1998 Forester since January of 1998. The Forester has been a joy to own. The only item to fail in the vehicle in the past two years and 30,000 miles was the light bulb in the interior dome light. The vehicle has been flawless...

Not very pleased

Date of Review:  Nov 27, 2000
Review: I bought this vehicle because of it's safety awards and the AWD without the height of a SUV. The power is ok, good enough to merge on freeways, and it handles more like a car than a SUV. What I hate about this vehicle is the flimsyness of the...

lemon or is everyone's car about to experience the same ?

Date of Review:  Feb 24, 2001
The Bottom Line: This model and the year it was built was plauged with problems. God bless the next owner of my leased car.
Review: Hi,

First off I want everyone to know that this car is my 6th Suburu in a row I have bought. 4 others I drove for well over 140,000 miles and they were great ! One other the XT was also great but had a bug or two. Now about my lovely...

Car? SUV? The best of both!

Date of Review:  Aug 3, 2000
Review: I bought this vehicle because it offered everything that I wanted in a vehicle. Prior to purchasing my Forester, I drove a 1991 Chevy S-10 Blazer. I enjoyed my Blazer, but there were several aspects that I didn't like. Road noise, gas mileage, and...
